LEADERSHIP AND STATECRAFT: STUDIES IN POWER

HILMA AF KLINT CATALOGUE RAISONNÉ – BOX SET

THE LAYMAN’S GUIDE TO CLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE

Edited by Kurt Almqvist, Alastair Benn, Mattias Hessérus

Edited by Daniel Birnbaum, Kurt Almqvist

Quinlan Terry, foreword by Charles III

In this anthology worldleading researchers and writers explore leadership and statecraft, offering insights from history to address current military, economic, and geopolitical issues. Featuring global, interdisciplinary perspectives, it examines leadership in both small states and large empires, providing a comprehensive understanding of effective governance and necessary skills for political elites.

Not all artists’ oeuvre can, will, or deserve to be collected in a Catalogue Raisonné.

But Hilma af Klint’s art not only deserves it – it demands it – since her oeuvre holds a message and reveals a philosophy. For the first time ever, the reader will be able to review Hilma af Klint’s work in the order she herself established in 1938, in this historical document divided into seven volumes.

Quinlan Terry, one of the world’s most noted classical architects, presents a step-bystep exploration of classical design principles, with his own drawings illustrating the orders of columns, proportions, and construction techniques. The book serves as both an accessible introduction and a modern continuation of historic pattern books, offering inspiration for architects, artisans, and enthusiasts alike.

How 3000 Years of Jewish Civilization in the Arab World Vanished Overnight

A Journey Through the long Twentieth Century

Lyn Julius

Nick Sayers

Uprooted will surely not be the last historical examination of the Arab world’s exiled Jews, but it is among the first to launch a frontal assault on the myths and preconceptions associated with their plight.

For that alone, its value will endure. – Ben Cohen, Commentary

Why were Jews living in Lithuania in the late 19th century? Were their lives becoming difficult at that time? Why did some Jews emigrate? How did they choose where to go?

What happened to those left behind? How were Lithuania’s Jews murdered in the Holocaust and how has Lithuanian society tried to come to terms with this in the post-war world?

Death is the basic condition of man, the fixed point of our fears and the prerequisite for our aspirations. Ideas about death characterize all cultures and have given rise to both world religions and local myths. In secular environments, however, the existence of death is more obscure. Life-prolonging measures have replaced the idea of death as meaningful in itself or a passage into the unknown. This volume explores death through twenty-four essays, covering global and historical perspectives.

BANKSY

Ideas That Shaped the World

Cultural Outlaw

Edited by Elisabeth Svalin Gunnarsson, Suzanne Fagence Cooper, Henry Howard, with Cilla Robach, Elisabeth Svalin Gunnarsson, Howard Hull, Karen Livingstone, Kathy Haslam et al.

Paul Gough

The Arts & Crafts movement began as a backlash against industrialism and the prevailing style ideals in Britain in the mid-19th century. The basic ideas of its supporters, including art critic John Ruskin and artist William Morris, developed into a global movement, spreading through craft colonies and influencing professionals in several fields, from design and architecture to ornamentation and cultivation. In this book, twelve authors look at the home environments, art schools, museums and other organisations where ideals and visions were created, interpreted and developed. We read about the movement's continued relevance to our time; not only as a beloved treasure trove of patterns that inspires and forms the basis for new styles, but also our relationship to creativity, sustainability and lifestyle.

• Generously illustrated anthology on the continued relevance of the Arts and Crafts movement.

• This illustrated book offers a new perspective on Banksy, examining his work as an artist, political commentator, and cultural figure.

• It explores his iconic stenciling, exhibitions, and major events, such as the Sotheby’s shredding.

RENDLESHAM AND THE EAST ANGLIAN KINGDOM

Investigating an Early English Royal Centre and its Contexts Christopher Scull, Tom Williamson This book tells the story of the initial discovery and subsequent archaeological investigations at Rendlesham, placing the site in its broader context as a focus of power in the early East Anglian kingdom. It considers the approaches in archaeology and landscape history that were used and offers new perspectives on early English society. It discusses the significance of concentrations of high status metalwork and coinage at specific places in the landscape and the implications for the existance of places of wealth and power at the centre of discrete territories.

• First volume to examine in depth the orgins and development of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of East Anglia based on archaeological evidence from key, major sites, and the possible status of Rendlesham as Bede’s named settlement of kings.

• Presents a multi-disciplinary study by archaeologists, numismatists, metallurgists, documentary historians and place-name specialists.

THE LANDSCAPES OF COMMON LAND

History and Ecology in Norfolk and Beyond Tom Williamson This innovative study, which concentrates on the county of Norfolk but ranges widely, is firmly focused on the character of commons as physical environments and places, as landscapes. Using a wide range of documentary, archaeological and ecological evidence, it discusses the development and management of commons from earliest times; explains their morphology, location and distribution; and explores why some examples survived the process of enclosure – and the distinctive traces left by those that did not. Above all, it describes the characteristic physical features of different kinds of common and explains how their ecology has, in innumerable ways, been shaped by history.

• Aimed at a wide audience of people interested in landscape history, ecology and wildlife conservation, as well as in East Anglian history.

• Includes a chapter extending the discussion to elsewhere in England, showing the wider relevance of the conclusions drawn from the Norfolk case study.

• Addresses the subject of common land from the perspective of landscape history and archaeology, through a detailed regional study of Norfolk.

Bridget Flanagan, Keith Grimwade

Mike Parker Pearson, Jacqui Mulville, Helen Smith, Peter Marshall

The River Great Ouse in Cambridgeshire has a long history of water milling, dating back to at least the 10th century. This study uses remote sensing, cartography, fieldwork, and documents to uncover new insights into the river’s milling landscape. The Great Ouse’s mills were the most valuable in England, as recorded in the Domesday Survey. The research identifies lost mill sites and explains their national importance. It explores medieval disputes over milling, navigation, and farming. The authors also reveal that certain river features, previously thought natural, were actually shaped by milling activity. The study examines the lasting impact of water milling until the 19th century and calls for a methodology to recognise milling-related landscape features as heritage assets to guide planning decisions.

• Analyses the continuing impact of water milling on the landscape of the River Great Ouse valley until its decline in the second half of the 19th century.

The second volume on Cladh Hallan, a Bronze Age-Iron Age site on South Uist, presents studies of various materials, including metalworking debris, copperalloy, gold, and iron artifacts, as well as tools made from bone, antler, flint, and quartz. The site’s metalworking assemblage, including items like a gold-plated ring and an early iron object, is significant for its size and domestic context. Environmental remains reveal a rich variety of faunal and plant species, with sheep being the most common domestic animal. The site also contains the largest collection of canine remains in British prehistory. The book includes extensive analyses, including isotopic, osteological, and genetic studies, and highlights the discovery of mummified human remains, revealing new insights into prehistoric mortuary practices.

The volume concludes with a synthesis of these findings, shedding light on life and death in the 2nd and early 1st millennia BC.

Understanding the Life of Neolithic Societies in the Western Mediterranean

Tracing the Relationship Between Egypt and the Southern Levant through Textile Tools

Edited by Berta Morell-Rovira, F. Xavier Oms, Gerard Remolins, Juan F. Gibaja

Chiara Spinazzi-Lucchesi

Funerary contexts have long provided crucial insights into past societies, especially in the study of the first farming and herding communities in the Western Mediterranean. The ‘Pit Burial’ horizon in northeastern Iberia, dating back 6,500 years, marks a significant increase in inhumations. Despite being underexplored in international publications, these burials offer rich details about Neolithic life, including burial practices, grave goods, and social networks. Over 650 graves have been discovered, many well preserved, revealing evidence of material trade, such as flint, obsidian, and jadeite. These interconnected communities influenced the social and economic organization of the region and contributed to the development of megalithic traditions.

• First comprehensive examination in English of the earliest Neolithic in northeast Iberia as reflected in 'Pit Burial' horizon graves combining all classes of archaeological and bioarchaeological evidence.

FLOREAT SALOPIA

A Celebration of Shropshire’s History and Archaeology Edited by Roger H. White In 2025, the Shropshire Archaeological and Historical Society will publish its 100th volume of Transactions, marking a significant milestone after nearly 150 years. This volume aims to showcase current research in Shropshire’s history and archaeology while highlighting the county’s rich, underexplored potential. The papers, which are loosely chronological, reflect the society’s dual focus on history and archaeology.

Contributors were given freedom in their topics, ensuring fresh research that contributes to broader national discussions. Rather than reviewing the society’s past works, the volume seeks to encourage further exploration and involvement in Shropshire’s history, emphasizing its potential for future studies that will resonate beyond the county to inform national academic fields.

• A fully illustrated, lively and wideranging celebration of the social, economic, religious and architectural history of Shropshire from the Neolithic to modern times.

• Re-evaluates the role of Shropshire at pivotal points in British and English history.

• Examines the impact of ‘Grand Tour’ travels in the evolution of the Shropshire country house, from the late 17th century into the early 19th century.

This study examines spinning and weaving tools from the Southern Levant and Egypt, spanning from the Neolithic to the early Persian period (600 BC).

It explores the evolution, continuity, and regional variations in textile production techniques. Despite political boundaries, the two areas had close contacts, reflected in the exchange of textile tools like Egyptian spinning bowls in the Levant and Levantine loom weights in Egypt.

The research takes both diachronic and synchronic approaches to understand the shared practices and technological exchanges in textile production, highlighting unexpected results in the transfer of knowledge and tools between these regions. Textiles, essential for both domestic and royal use, were valuable commodities often traded over long distances.

• First detailed examination of the development of spinning and weaving in the southern Levant and Egypt and the relationship between these regions in terms of craft technology and exchange of ideas and techniques.

• Provides a presentation of regional findings, including the evidence of the case studies and provides a discussion about the evolution of typology and materials for each category of object.

LANDSCAPE AND SOCIETY IN DUMNONIA

Iron Age, Roman, and Early Medieval Ipplepen and the Countryside of South-West England Stephen Rippon This book explores the landscape and society of South-West England from the Iron Age through the Roman and medieval periods, focusing on the settlement at Dainton Elms Cross in Ipplepen, Devon. Excavations revealed a Roman roadside settlement and early medieval cemetery, with exceptional preservation of animal bones, charred cereals, and human remains. The site, occupied for approximately 1200 years, was abandoned by the 8th century AD. The research, a joint project with the University of Exeter and other partners, also examines the broader region's history, including the emergence of hamlets, open fields, and the fragmentation of early folk territories.

The findings highlight the development of a distinct local identity, shaped by the natural environment and selective engagement with external influences.

• Employs an interdisciplinary approach integrating archaeological survey and excavation, palaeoenvironmental analysis, documentary research, historic landscape analysis, field- and place-names in a previously neglected region.

• Includes a reflective discussion of community archaeology.
